## Overview

The Norton Knife Sharpener Whetstone is a premium Japanese-style dual grit waterstone (4000/8000) designed for professional-level sharpening and polishing of knives and tools. Its water-lubricated surface creates an abrasive slurry that sharpens with less effort and cleans easily. The stone measures 1 x 8 x 3 inches and includes a non-slip holder with rubber feet for stable bench use. Manufactured by Norton, a trusted brand since 1885, this whetstone delivers precision edge maintenance and razor-sharp polishing in one compact, durable package.

## Description

The Norton 24336 Japanese-style 4000/8000-grit combination waterstone creates an abrasive slurry for effective sharpening, with 4000 grit on one face for maintaining and refining a cutting edge, and 8000 grit on the opposite face for polishing cutting edges; this 1 x 8 x 3 inch (H x W x D) stone, suitable for bench use, cleans up easily with water, and comes encased in a blue plastic hinged box. (H is height, the vertical distance from lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.) The box protects the waterstone and provides a reservoir to keep it moist. The removable box lid, with no-slip rubber feet, acts as a sharpening station to hold the waterstone in place during bench use. This synthetic waterstone is created by grading abrasive material to a consistent particle size and blending it with bonding agents. It is then molded and surface-finished. Waterstones have a finer grit and softer bond than oilstones, and use water as the lubricant to develop a slurry, a thin paste of abrasive grains and water that removes metal with less pressure than an oilstone requires. Cleanup is easier than with oil as lubricant. The use of waterstones originated in Japan, where such stones occur naturally. As a result, some synthetic waterstones may be called “Japanese-style.” However, whether natural or synthetic, and whether labeled “Japanese-style,” all waterstones have the same basic characteristics. This stone conforms to the Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) for waterstones.Sharpening stones, or whetstones, are abrasive surfaces used to sharpen and hone the edges of steel cutting implements such as chisels, knives, scissors, hand scrapers, and plane blades. Sharpening is the process of creating or re-establishing a cutting edge by grinding away portions of the metal to adjust the angle of the edge and reform the shape. Honing removes small imperfections. Stones can be flat, for working flat edges, or shaped, for edges that are more complex. Sharpening stones are made of natural or synthetic materials that range from softer to harder, and are categorized by the size of their abrasive particles, known as grit. A stone with a coarser grit is used when more metal needs to be removed (e.g., when sharpening a nicked or very dull blade); the stone with the finest grit produces the sharpest edge. Where numbers are assigned to specify grit, they range from coarser grit (low) to finer grit (high). Some sharpening stones are designed for use with a lubricating liquid, some can be used dry, and others can be used either wet or dry. When used with lubricating liquid, a sharpening stone can be called a waterstone or an oilstone, based on the lubricant required.Norton Abrasives manufactures sanding, grinding, and polishing abrasives, and has been located in the United States since 1885. Norton, now a brand of Saint-Gobain, meets ISO 9000 and 14001 certification for quality and environmental management standards.

Review: Amazing product - Perfection. Does not compare with the cheap stones, and justifies its price point. I have both this one now and a cheap set, they do not compare. Using it for a straight razor, that went from barely nicking my finger to sharp enough to pass the hair test. A 10min soak works best, case is fairly stable on wood and does not move during grinding.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what grit to use when sanding before actually using it?**
A: As long as it is a lower grit # than the stone, it will work. But obviously the lower the number the faster it will work. I used a 200 grit paper and it took me about 10-15 minutes overall to flatten both sides. I wouldn't go much lower than 100 grit though, it may be too rough of a grit that it could cause some grooves that you wouldn't be able to see, but would still affect whatever you're sharpening.All you need to do is get some dry/wet sanding paper (walmart, lowes, home depot, OSH, anywhere that sells sandpaper will have it) that is around 200 grit. Find a flat surface that you can put the paper on, wet the paper with some water to act as a lubricant, soak your stone till it is saturated with water, and then put the stone on the paper and work at it till you're satisfied that it is flat on both sides. Make sure the area you're working in will be ok if it gets wet, and have extra water ready to rinse the paper and stone with periodically because a lot of the stone will be rubbing off onto the paper. Hope this helps, and good luck!

**Q: You should flatten Norton every? How do you know it's not flat anymore?**
A: I would not use a flattening stone as they usually aren't flat. Course or extra course dmt stones will be your best bet. Norton Stones will not come flat from the factory they must be flattened. The easiest and best way to know if its flat it's to take a pencil and make grid lines each way.up and down, and across every half inch or so. Then use coarse diamond stone to flatten it. You will see when the grid lines are all gone that your stone is completely flat. When you first start to rub the stones together you will notice the low spots are still marked with the grid lines. Once all grid lines have been removed do it once more and your stone should be flat. Also once you flatten your stone you should take your diamond stone and slightly round the edges of your Norton stone. There should be many videos on this on youtube

**Q: I left mine in water over night will it be OK or  will it disbond ?**
A: I wouldn’t do that too often. 15-20 minutes is plenty.

**Q: I recently got into straight razor shaving and I need stone for honing. Do I need to buy flattening stone now or is ready to use for now ?**
A: Send your razor out for the first honing. Dovo razors do not come shave ready. I recommend you get Naniwa super stone in 1000, 5000, 8000, 12,000. You will also need a diamond lapping stone. Naniwa makes one, DMT makes one. If you hone your own razors, it is not going to be inexpensive. You will also need a strop or paddle strop. Get a 3 inch because you won’t have to do X strokes to strop your razor. A good strop should cost you $75 to a$100. If you only have 1 or 2 straight razors, you may wish to have them honed instead of purchasing all the stuff you will need to hone your razor’s. If you decide you like straight razor shaving then you need to learn to hone. I use a straight every day since I retired. I learned to shave with a straight razor in1962 so I know what I’m talking about. It will take you 100 shaves to get good at this. Don’t get discouraged. It’s the best shave you will ever get.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good value, great stone
*by D***N on 20 May 2014*

First off, this stone functions exactly as advertised. I was hesitant to use a waterstone because I had heard they could be a little tricky to get used to. They do require more maintenance than other sharpening systems, and natural stones have a reputation for needing more TLC than I was willing to put in. However, after reading several positive reviews of Norton stones, I decided to give this one a try. I was immediately impressed with the quality of the stone. There are no irregularities in the stone and it is dead flat right out of the box. It has enough heft to keep it in place with a minimum of effort. The combination of grits is exactly what you need to hone and polish a blade that already has an established edge. I used it on a 2" Hock plane iron and got it to a mirror polish in very little time. The instruction booklet packed with the stone is informative without being overwhelming. The plastic case is nice and is sturdy enough to protect the stone from accidental contact. The hinge of the box is solid plastic, so I'm not sure how long it will hold up after repeated use. I would definitely buy other Norton stones in the future.
